Why are Company's Posting Phantom Listings if They are Not Hiring During the Pandemic? #

I'm applying to positions on LinkedIn, and occasionally reaching out to people with similar roles within the company via messenger to learn more and introduce myself. On several occasions, I've been told by the people working there (not those in HR posting the jobs), that the company is undergoing a hiring freeze.
So, why then is HR still posting these jobs if they do not exist?? It is incredibly frustrating when I spend time customizing my resume, reaching out, and actually becoming excited for certain positions to be told "yeah, the company isnt hiring during this time"

- Internal transfers (have to legally post it)
- Still hiring for very specialized roles despite a freeze (very common)
